Medical - Medical (general) / resonancia magnética
Spanish term or phrase: \"meliegráfico\"
Pienso que puede ser un error. El texto dice (con relación a un estudio de resonancia magnética):

El estudio se realizo en equipo de 1.5T con secuencias fSE T1, fSE T2 en planos ax/sag, STIR sagital y efectomeliegráfico por resonancia magnética.

Me imagino que efectomeliegráfico son dos palabras, es decir, efecto meliegráfico, pero en todo caso no encuentro nada.

Why would you use MRI to carry out an electromyography ("efectomeliegráfico por resonancia magnética")?

However, I believe, but not certain about this, one would measure the "myelographic effect" by MRI:

"Among the T2-weighted sequences, the FSE technique provided better image quality than did the CSE technique, but lesion visibility was improved only with a repetition time/echo time of 2500/90; parameters of 3000/150 provided poor lesion contrast but ****the best myelographic effect*** and overall image quality."
https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...


The examination should be performed using thin sections and high resolution. Spinal MRI should include imaging sets obtained in the axial and sagittal planes using T1-weighted, proton-density, and T2-weighted techniques. ***In addition pulse sequences that provide high signal from cerebrospinal fluid (myelographic effect) help delineate epidural pathological processes such as disc fragments and osteophytes**** [16].
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aorth/2012/908324/


T1-weighted axial images provide anatomical images similar to CT scans, and the myelographic effect of cerebrospinal fluid on T2-weighted images shows the extent and degree of stenosis throughout the entire lumbar spine.

Rather than "measure the myelographic effect" best said "observe".

It may fit in better with your source text if you use "myelographic sequences" (see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_health_... However, FWIW, it gets less hits than "effect".

Explanation:
It's a typo. They meant "mielográfico", electromyography in English.

neutral  philgoddard: Is it possible you've misunderstood it too? It's electro, not efecto, surely
15 mins
  -> Because the source says "efecto meliegráfico" not "electromiografia". efecto/electro, "melie- / mio". So a more pertinent question might be "Why would it be electromyelography [or do you mean "electromyography"?]"? // Not sure, but I think it's "effect"

I'm not a medic, so I may be barking up the wrong tree, but is the answer "electromyelography"?

neutral  Neil Ashby: A couple of misspellings would have to be involved. "efecto >> electro", "gráfico >> gráfia", I think the asker will know from other context. Another problem would be "electromyelography performed by MRI"<>"efectomeliegráfico por resonancia magnética",no?
